This is really showing my noobness, but I downloaded the linuxmint iso and burned it on a disk but my computer won't boot from it. I've made my cd drive to be priority in front of my hd in booting but it skips it like the cd has nothing on it to boot from. Then, i made a bootable cd with nero and it comes up asking me to type stuff. Well, i tried to run the iso i had burned but either I don't know what I'm doing (very obvious) or it just didn't work. I exptected it to just boot up anyways like with ubuntu.

*EDIT* I may have figured it out, I needed to burn it a different way. I'm going to give this a go and see what happens.
